I caught the “neocon” epithet as well. It may have been the last straw for poor old Flaming Retread.
When I was a child, a lovely, elderly Jewish couple, neighbors of ours, were very kind to me. It is
hard to be ill disposed toward anyone who was that sweet and nurturing to an 8-year old who made
too much noise upstairs. 3622222 (My cat, Lucas Prince of Darkness, just walked on the keyboard.)
I have met some obnoxious Jewish people, but with age, I have come to realize that their first thoughts
about people of other faiths is, “How is this person going to try to put one over on me.” And I have
undergone the “purity test” from more than one baiter who tried to get me to admit prejudice.
Some I won over, and others, not so much, but I hold no prejudice against any of them after what they
have been through for centuries as a people.

What ultimately frustrates me about American Jews is ONLY their overwhelming propensity to vote lib/dem. Ugh. And, why?
Conversely, even the most liberally disposed Israeli I ever knew was more likely to favor American conservative viewpoints and candidates. And of course Netanyahu can be my president every day of the week and twice on Sunday. But I digress.
